Soil fertility and plant nutrition is an applied science that integrates knowledge across all disciplines of soil and plant sciences to provide nutrients effectively and efficiently to plants. Efficient use of nutrients is required not only to maximize agricultural production but also to protect air soil and water quality as well as the natural resources involved in providing fertilizers to support agricultural production. This book Experimental Soil Fertility and Biology by Dr. A. S. Mailappa is truly a tour de force of condensation of the essentials of scientific knowledge and approaches to soil science and discusses the various aspects of soil fertility and crop nutrition with a focus on collection preparation and analysis of essential plant nutrients in soil plant and water. This book is unique written in a simple and lucid manner and covering all aspects of soil fertility and biology in comprehensive chapters. This book is organized to facilitate rapid location of information while being written in a readable style. The topics and discussion in this self-contained book are practical and user-friendly yet comprehensive enough to cover material presented in upper-level soil and plant science courses. It allows practitioners with general background knowledge to feel confident applying the principles presented to soil/crop production systems. Readership: students / teachers / researchers / practitioners of agricultural universities/ institutes engaged in teaching research and extension activities related to agriculture horticulture forestry and other allied disciplines.|Experimental Soil Fertility and Biology | Life Science
